Over the Border

A knife quivers in the doorframe beside Rosa’s throat—and the Three Bad Men of Las Bocas still have a more immediate problem: the liquor is gone. Sliver Smith, roused from his nap, joins Bull Perrin and Jake Evers on a ride into the desert.

Their hideout is an abandoned adobe powder house perched above the vast Sonora desert, where sheer drops and a narrow trail make a fine defense—until the flour runs out and Rosa demands they go for supplies. The three outlaws may look born for trouble, but their quarrels over drink and provisions are trouble enough; Jake’s flying knife gives Rosa reason to fear them, while the empty demijohn gives all three reason to move. With horses saddled and the town of Las Bocas ahead, what will the bad men find beyond their lair?
